Just catching up with the first of several selections from the last few days for next year's Welsh Assembly election with news that Anthony Ridge-Newman will contest Gower.
Having contested Ynys Mon at the general election, Anthony is seeking to unseat Labour AM Edwina Hart who has a majority of 1,192 and would be unseated on a swing of 4.4%.
He said on his selection:
"After a long and competitive selection process, I am very pleased to have been selected as the Conservative candidate for Gower. The quality of candidates was extremely high, so I feel very humbled indeed. I have a strong personal connection with Gower. It has been a special place for my family and me for many many years. I will live at the heart of our beautiful constituency and work very hard to earn the right to represent the people of Gower. There is a lot of progress to be made and I intend to roll up my sleeves and get stuck in."
